Mr. Martin Ryan:

What we want is clarity. We want to know that what is being enacted is clear. What any commander wants is proper and fair procedures. At the moment, as has been alluded to, we are in a vacuum. We are utilising mechanisms that are not fit for purpose. They were never meant to be for suspensions. As we have said many times, we welcome the introduction of a mechanism, but we cannot have vagueness. As has been pointed out, it should not be as subjective as it is. I am conscious that it is primary legislation and we may see greater detail in the secondary legislation, but as Mr. King alluded to already, if that is the case, we need to be at the table for that. It is no harm to have more prescriptive guidance than what exists in the current heads and in primary legislation. That is all any commander wants to be able to do. They do not want to be dealing with any terms of ambiguity when it comes to administering suspension policies in the future.
